About
Midwest Financial Strategies provides portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), trusts, and employer retirement plans. Services include tailored Investment Policy Statements, ongoing discretionary management, and periodic reporting to support client goals.
The firm constructs individualized portfolios using model allocations and documents risk tolerance and time horizon in each client’s Investment Policy Statement; its methods include charting and technical analysis and a long‑term trading orientation. It frequently delegates implementation to third‑party services through a turnkey asset management program and outsourced trading and billing to align accounts with chosen model portfolios.
A notable distinction is the firm’s affiliation with the insurance industry: advisors are licensed insurance agents who may recommend insurance products on a disclosed commission basis and also offer fee‑based, no‑load annuity management, with contract-imposed limitations on investment options. The firm also requires clients to use a specific custodian and discloses prior regulatory actions involving firm management, items prospective clients typically consider during due diligence.

Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
